'ME LONDON JOUR LS. DAILY EXTRACTS PROM TR?. MCiRNiNq PAPERk , - AAA - TI, 182 " ' •• •, {Tux A Report on the Poor Rate Returns has been pre sewed to the House of Cornmons. There are ch ciunstances not apparent an the fi.ee of these Returns, which nevertheleas must be taken into consideration, before any fair and just- inference can be arrived at with regard to the advancing or declining condition of the people. There is nothing more simple or easy to state than, the amount of money expended for the poor in cash of along-series of years. thus we fairl in the paperabetbre us, that the sum so expended in 1812-13 was 6,666,0001., while, in 1824-25, that is, the last year coniprehended within the report of the committee, the charge on that same account was only 5,786,0001., being a -priniefacie reduction of pauperism, or, in Giber words, an improvement in the state of the coun try to the amount of 870,0001. But it is plain ,that theie d are, on both sides of the question, various 'other data wanting to justify any fixed conclusion upon the subject. We discover; 'on looking a little further, that wheat, in 181243, was upwards ,of 128 s. per quarter whereas, in the year preceding March, 1825, it stood at 625. 1 , The real statement, then, ought to be, that in, 1812-13, a year of war, and almost of &mine, the poor ofthis country did not require a contribution froth the public of more money than was adequate to the purchase of 1,040,000 quarters of wheat; whereas, in 1824-5; a year of peace and comparative fruitfulness, the English paupers had so fitr multiplied as to impose upon the rest of the community a tax equivalent to more than 1,860,000 quarters. Pauperism, therefine, has increased amongst tis, from 1813 to 1825, in the proportion, very nearly, of 18 try 10. Let is take, then, another rule by which to govern this calculation, viz,—the value, of the circulating medium at these re spective periods. The guinea of the formerdav was worth about 275. of the paper money : a sovereign, had such a coin then existed, would, have sold for nearly 268.: at present the sovereign is worth hut '2os.: 205., therefore, of the coin of 1825, were equal to 265. of 1813 v ; so that the seeminglylarger poor tax of 1813 x , amounting in the money of that day to 6,656;0004 was, in fact, equal only tu5,120,115/. of the coin of 1825 .; 'but the sum so expended in the latter y ear amounted to 5,786,0004 Taking, therefore, the mere money standard of the two periods,, without any refe rence had to the abundance or scarcity of corn, the sum paid for the poor in 1824.5, exceeds. that paid for them itt 181 Q-13, by more than 060,0001. As our object is merely to put the public on its guard against eirneluSion3 (hewn front imperfect • prenlises, we must snhjoitt that there is yet another element to be added to the data necessary for any useful opinion upon it,--namely, -the comparative amount - of the population of England' et the two periods under, our nottcer; adtl here the result is obviously such as to tlualify; in a great .degree, the inference we before arrived at. "fhepoptilation 0f.181243 Was, making allowance for its gradual increase from 1810, when the Parliamentary census had been taken, probably about 10,300,000 or 10,400,000 s m ile,; in 1824-5, it bad been augurmted to perhaps 12,400,t)00; souls, being an increase in the ratio of 124 to 104, or in round number:, 12 to 10—a difference which, 'thuugb not equiv)lerit't4 : tife augmentation of the 'poor-rates between the twe - periadS, will unquestionably account for no small portion of their in c rease.

So much for the Courier's arithmetic: [THE REPEESE2STATIVE.3 • The fate of Missolonghi, naw ascertained, hat called forth observations in some of the public prints, not Very favourable to the character of the foreign press. Upon reflection, it will probably appear that those unfavourable conclusions are not fully justified by facts. it is very true, that the fall of this celebrated fortress was repeatedly announced in the foreign journals long before it actually took place ; and that, for a long time previous to its capture, the most contradictory reports upon the subject were propagated in the French and :German Papers. But these various announcements of the fall of the place are not to be classedwith idle reports and groundless speculations. These anticipations only 'prove that those who indulged in them entertained a correct idea' of the nature of the contest, and plainly foresaw its certain result. The fort of Vassiladi corn, inanded the, place, and its fall was decisive:of-the: fate Of the fortress. The astonishing courage and con stancy of the garrison might, and (lid retard, but could not poseibly avert its fate. Such of the Paris 'Papers as notice the subject, talk of the tears which they have shed over the account of this mournful catastrophe ; but they would act more .correctly if they acknow ledged their own folly in encouraging yain expecta tions. That a strong feeling in favour of the Greeks prevails in France w- - admitted ; but of what avail could the good wishes, and even the subscriptions of Parisian Liberals, possibly be in deciding the contest .between, eight thousand Suliots, shut up in 'an ill-con strnate4 fortress, and the ftecumnlating foree` of the Turkish Empire, brought to act upon a single point ? Foreign interfeeence alone could have saved it ; •but, had that' been practicitble, either on the part of Eng land or Russia, consistent with sound policy and the faith of treaties, we cannot presume that either. the one or the other would have so long witnessed the effusion '.ofblood, and the increase of human suffering, without 'exerting itself in favour of the unfortnnate Greeks. THE 'ECCENTRIC TRAVELLER. A NOVEL, in 4 vols. 13rno. with cut9.--Publishetl by Longman and Co. Pitternooter,row. The plan of this Novel is conceived and executed !in the style and manner of'Oil Bias, without any of those iinproperincidents which detract so much from the nient,ofthat otherwise unriValled production. is nut a little creditable to the. author of the work, that he has often successfully imitated the humour and naivete of Le Sage, and caught the living manners as they rise," by displaying the foibles,' caprices, and follies of several classes of men with great powers.:of judgment and ridicule, derived from extensive observe_. tion and experience. The scene of the narrative is ,laid in Spam, and the hero is ayoung man of fortune,' who is seized with an eager desire Of seeing the world, and accordingly sets outs on his travels, during which he meets with several comical adventures and extraor dinary characters, outr? indeed, but true to Nature. Among the characters represented, there Don Riazo, who, from the humble profession Of a barber, is raised to opulence by the discovery of a hidden treasure--a Don Mar, who had dissipated a large inheritance in purchasing apparattisler attempting dis coveries, as chimerical as those, of the elixir vine, or plailosoplun'aDolt Vida, a vinegarimann 'faCturer and apothecary, who, to save his cash, forced every one with whom he had any money transactions, to accept of vinegar or drugs as vast of payment — and a' Dr. FisCttri, who had collected as large an assort . merit of birdS,"beii4s, and creeping things, as might have formed a menagerie, together. with various other s characters equally eccentric and. ridiculous. The in cidents • recorded throughont the work arc no less amusing ; and, as a iiroof that the author has a good spice' of humour in his Composition, we select the fol lowing anecdote, which, if the word London ,be sub -I.itituted for Madrid, wonldbe equally correct in point of fact.

EXCHEQUER CHAMBER, MAY 9, [From the Dublin Evening Post 1 itiz:n ART) RADFORD ROWE V. JOHN WIDER, ANDREW JACKSON, AND DANIEL ASHFORD. This was a writ of error from the Court of Common Pleas; the action was tried before Lord.Norbury, which was for assault and false imprisonment. and plaintiff obtained a verdict for 2001. The defendant's Counsel took a bill of exceptions to the charge of the learned Judge' ' and after much arg u m en t i n th e C ou rt o f C ommon Pleas, three Judges of that Court differed with Lord Norbury, and a venire de novo was awarded. The phtintiff.was thus forced to bring in his writ of error before the twelve Judges. The case in this, Court was ably argued by Counsel on both sides ; . and thiS day the:Coot of Error gave their judgment seriatim. Ten Judges deeided for the plaintiff. • Mr. Justice Moore and Mr. Justice Johnson declared against the plaintiff. .

The complainants charged the, defendant with , employing, be sides his'two apprentices, two non-freemen, who, under the name of porters, worked as hot-pressers. - He thus got men wlio worked at half the price charged by freemen; • who, having served their time, were thus supplanted by men who had not served one day. Mr. Tidwell said his two men were freemen, And could there fore be employed as porters. He did not want the complainants' savices, and would not employ them' if he had work to give them. Without specifying the mode` in which he employed the tem men, he deelaredit was not in hot-pressing. One of the Journeymen---You are bound to dismiss them, is I can do the IMMO 'work.

A Journeyman.-.My Lcird,r.the whole.of it is, he gets men for 10. and 12s. a week, to: do work which,freemeu ought to have, and for which they ought to be paid 2t per week. • The defendant said he gave his men 2.55. pa week, hesidea tea and beer ; and he defied ihem to produce any master In London who'did the same.

Alderman Brown said, he Was afraid the prisoner con templated a much higher crime than that for which he was about to be committed,self-destrUction. His hand, however, had hap pily been arrested; but the offence of which he had been guilty affected his life. The prisoner, who seemed much affected, was then committed. BOW-STREET.--We have already , stated, . that since the order was received at Newgate for the execution- of William Jones, for a burglary in the house of the Hon. Mr. Stanhope, , great exertions had been made by his prosecutor, and other per sons, to. save his life, and that these exertions arose from a convic tion, the result of minute inquiry, that the convict was young in crime, and that he had been the scape-goat of more experienced thieves. A respite fir One week, it is known, was received on behalf of the convict on Monday night; and yesterday morning information was lodged at this office, of such a nature as to in duce Sir R. BIANIP to issue orders to Morris, a conductor of patrol, and two of his men, Mason and Conyers, to search for, and, if possible, apprehend three young men, named Thomas MlCensman alias Barrett, James Harding, and George Ar cher, on suspicion of being concerned in the burglary for which Jones was to have suffered the highest penalty of the law. These men were all known to the officers, who, without much difficulty, found them at the Guy Earl of Warwick public-house, at the corner of Vinegar-yard, Belton-street, Long-acre, where they were playing at skittles in a cellar fitted tip for that purpoie. They were searched, and 27 sovereigns were found upon M'Kens roan, and some money to a smaller amount on the others. They were all exceedingly well dressed. They were put to the bar in the evening, and a short deposi tion taken from the officers to the effect, that from information which they had received, they had reason to suspect and believe that the prisoners were concerned in the burglary at the Hon. Mr. Stanhope's. Sir R. Biamtz addressing 111 4 Xensman, a remarkably genteel and good-looking young man, told him that he and his coin paii:ons were suspected of having been concerned in a burglary, fur which a man named William Jones was to have been executed that morning, but who had been respited for a very particular purpose. "You understand me, probably," observed the Ma gistrate. "There were particular reasons for respiting him.— Have you any thing to say ?" Al‘lilensinan merely replied " I know nothing about any thing." His fellow-prisoners gave nearly the same anstrer. They were remanded till Friday next. POtTRY.
